The latest news from the Oracle Solaris team

Tuesday Mar 04, 2014

Last month was the fourth anniversary of Sun becoming part of Oracle, and it’s been four years marked by a crazy pace of development. Our Santa Clara campus is packed to the brim with our systems hardware and software teams, and they've been busy:

And where things have really sped up: our ability to work every day to design and execute solutions hand in hand with the Oracle database, middleware and applications teams.

Needless to say, we don’t have any plans to stop.

At the same time... we can’t help but notice what’s going on over at IBM. A lot of stuff seems to be going up on the auction block. And we're not sure if they have any plans to stop that, either.

So, this seems like a good time to note some of the things we’re doing to make it as easy as possible to transition from the AIX/POWER world to the Solaris/SPARC world. First off, we have a white paper:

That's where you'll find information on why making the move to Oracle Solaris / SPARC systems is such a good idea, see what the business and performance advantages are, learn how to plan your move and find out how Oracle can help. The bottom line: if you're going to run Oracle workloads -- or any other mission-critical workloads, you should run them on Oracle.

Oracle Technology Network also has a great AIX-to-Oracle Solaris resource page.
